Project Description

Modern machine learning models (deep neural networks) provide impressive
performance on many challenging inference tasks. Research has also shown,
however, that they are vulnerable to attacks such as poisoned training
data and adversarial inputs that cause neural networks to give unexpected
results. This UROP will explore various mechanisms for detecting and/or
countering such attacks.

Pre-requisites

Ability to develop and implement machine learning algorithms, including the use of modern machine learning packages such as PyTorch as required.
